I'm glad to see Patricia Campion joined us cappers here at covers.com. Who do you like in the Nat'l Championship and what do you think the spread will be at kickoff?

Also, is posting someone's work on a pro-gambling website, even if it is word for word and not cited, plagerism or copyright infringement? Is slim selling this off as his own and making a profit? Is Slim completing his thesis and not documenting his sources?

To be or not to be...that is the question. I just made that up. I dare anyone who says I didn't make it up to sue me.

I guess if SJP said this was plagerism or copyright infringement then you guys would believe in her too.

You obviously don't have any formal post-secondary education.

You do not have to 'profit' off someone's work for it to be plagiarism

Here's some advice, this is not the time to step in and defend Slim...

As a member of this community I appreciate your patience and professionalism on this matter. I personally find Slim's actions disgusting, and I'm glad you are (rightfully) targeting him and not the site.

It's nice to meet another rational conservative. They are few and far between around here, as you can tell by the opening post in this thread. So feel free to visit this site often and hold all posters in this forum to account.

Being a conservative doesn't blind me to the ridiculous behavior of my representatives and members of my own party though... If you think I was hard on Slim you should read the open letter I wrote to Michele Bachmann... the whiney little twit.

I swear if that woman says "UniNed States" instead of UniTed States" one more time I think I blow a gasket...

And to think she labels herself as a member of the TEA party...

Anyway, I appreciate your invitation to visit.Having lived in the Detroit area for 20 years before moving to Florida the only sport I really follow is hockey.(The Lions and Tigers weren't exactly on fire during my stay in the Motor City but the Red Wings won 3 Stanley Cups!)

Having Stevie Y as the new GM for the Lightning has done wonders to alleviate my guilt in rooting for my new hometown team but I will always have a special place in my heart for my Wings.

If you have any interest, here's a link to a story I wrote during the NHL playoff last year.

Yea for real, is there a 'Hillbilly Defence League" movie in the works?

Is there video of rick whopping some behind, what happened rick?

I was at a local bar that I frequent. Kind of the "older, young professionals crowd". Watching the games with a buddy, having a good time, when the cast of the Jersey shore walked in (not literally but you get the picture), blowout haircuts, dudes wearing tank tops under coats, giant chain/cross. Girls were orange from fake tan. Disgusting.

One of their buddies was not too bad though and he and one of the girls were talking to us about Rutgers (of course), and the future of the Big East. The guy ended up going back to his table, but the girl stayed at the bar talking to my buddy. Clearly a phone number getting/and or going back home situation, from what I could tell.

The greasiest of the guys walked by the bar saying something to the effect of " you don't want to hang out with these in-bread hillbillies" With a smile on his face half-joking.

Without even thinking I stood up cocked back and (surprisingly) slapped, (yes slapped) him harder than I have ever slapped anyone in my life. It made a huge smack sound, and everyone looked over. This guy was clearly stunned and didn't know what to do so he tackled me hit me a couple of times, but I was able to roll on top of him, I didn't reign down any blows, I just asked him if he was done, and after some weak attempts at a reversal or escape he conceded.

Also surprisingly , nobody was kicked out of the bar. Everyone just carried on like nothing had happened.

Had to go home with a fat lip. wife was not too impressed.

I think I am more sensitive to it because I did not grow up in this area, I just hate to be called a redneck or hillibily, especially by someone who is not a redneck or hillibilly.

Look at disco D sucking up to a journalist who is relatively opposed to his own racist socialist delusions about society. You make me laugh at your arrogance regarding nearly every point you ever make and your being convinced as to your point's righteousness adds to my repulsion as well as your typical liberal elite "educated" snobbery.

The same person denigrating old white men probably has not read a shred of Thomas Paine or any of the great white male thinkers whose visions laid the groundwork for our countries foundations and quite frankly a group of individuals whose genius needs to be tapped for the very salvation of our country.

Wishing for racial diversity based on its own sake is ridiculous. Our country has fixed many of its racial and social inequities over time and it will continue to evolve if given a chance. Forcing an affirmative action inexperienced lazy person like Obama surrounded by his legions of crooks, sycophants, and socialist ideologues gets you right where affirmative action leads and that is someone ill or less qualified for a job than another person.

Well Patricia you got plagiarized. I'd call that a complement but it is a shame Slim didn't respond like this.

"My dear, I am sorry I did not reference you as the source of this post but I am delighted to see you here. I loved your article so much it moved me and quite frankly I am a better person for having been exposed to you. I greatly apologize for my oversight/stupidity and wish your continued success in your profession where truly objective conservative journalists are quite frankly too few. I will not fail to reference your ideas when I find them interesting and worthy of commentary in the future."

Wow... Most people would be embarrassed if their narrow minded, childish, bigoted rants were made public like that.

?Long Haired Redneck?

I'm a highly secure person. I've seen enough of reverse racism to last a lifetime when black minorities were passed in LSU med school when my asian, white, indian male and female fellow students would flunk if one class was failed.

I for one think that insulting white people is just as bad and that is what Disco D was doing earlier.

Patricia why is it that focus on Bachmann's inane colloquialisms rather than her lapses in historical accuracy, her deluded thoughts that homosexuality is an illness, or her overt hypocrisy that she wants the government out of our lives yet proposes the government in our bedrooms and uterus. I too dislike the woman but learned long ago as a visitor to the south that some people who talk odd can be astoundingly intelligent.

I will also tell you whether you care or not that I am not a racist in manner you think I am. You mistake me blasting someone I consider a racist for racism itself. Quite frankly as Dennis Miller said(note the reference, not that he's insecure enough to care) "the only thing cool about Obama is that he is black."

I had hopes for him and was happy with our post racial society in progress. Turns out he wasn't vetted because either he was a democrat or black. No college scores?, no SAT scores? Please tell me why he is the first in history not to be vetted? Is it the soft bigotry of diminished expectations?

I have to go to the hospital now to see a mutual patient of the best neurosurgeon I know. The man(neurosurgeon) is as black as the day is long and I refer to him exclusively. I would not be ashamed to discuss any of my opinions with my friend nor hear his criticism of my thoughts but quite frankly you misinterpret me and my intentions so I'll end any further discourse with you.

What an embarassment Disco is to Covers.

His lips couldn't be more up her squeeky behind than flies on fresh cow poopoo. Since when do Covers members suck up to anybody for that matter, I could have sworn that was in the manifesto

Oh wait, before long we will have administration officials chiming in like our moderators, I'll report you to the FBI, CIA.............Please folks this is a degenerate gamblers website Nothing more and nothing less..........

Yea... sounds like you shouldn't have 'lost it' on him but I'm glad nothing serious happened and you are ok.

I'm pretty sure you'll know better for next time if this type of thing happens, and that it may have been more responsible of you to just ask him to 'stop being so ignorant' as a first step, so I won't point it out.

But I do understand your frustrations. Some people just have no sense.

First - my reference to Bachmann was a quote from an open letter I posted through an assignment on Yahoo News.

Honestly I don't blame you at all for what you did. I think it's fine and these things happen. Although a "slap" probably is a bit out of the ordinary but it actually probably embarrassed the other guy way more than a punch.

I actually believe getting into a fight once every couple of years is good so long as no one gets seriously hurt. I've been in fights before where I ended up drinking with the guy later that night. We fought, got it out of our systems, made amends, and went about our business. We actually had more respect for each other.

You probably did the guy a favor too. I bet he will think twice before saying something like that to a stranger again.

I never got Mrs Campion's opinion on the BCS Championship? Do you think it will be LSU vs Bama and if it is what do you think the spread will be?

LOL

Sorry canovsp... but I know where my expertise ends and sports isn't one of my areas.

I can talk hockey though - 20 years of rabid Red Wing devotion in the heart of Hockeytown... and three years of learning to love the Tampa Bay Lightning (Stevie Y's arrival helped make the transition less guilt-ridden).
